II
SALES AND
PURCHASES; SETTLEMENTS
Section
2.01. General
Terms
(a) Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions herein, on the Initial Purchase Date the Seller shall
sell to the Purchaser without recourse, and the Purchaser shall acquire from the
Seller, the Purchased Assets listed on the Schedule of Mortgage Loans for the
Purchase Price of $[_______________]. Upon the terms and subject to
the conditions herein, after the Initial Purchase Date but prior to the date on
which this Agreement terminates in accordance with Section 6.01 hereof, the
Seller shall from time to time, on each Purchase Date, sell to the Purchaser
without recourse, and the Purchaser shall acquire from the Seller, the Purchased
Assets for the Purchase Price specified in the related Supplemental
Conveyance.
4
(b) The
sale of Purchased Assets on any Purchase Date after the Initial Purchase Date
shall occur upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section
4.02. Upon the satisfaction of such conditions on each
Purchase Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the Purchase Price
specified in the related Supplemental Conveyance in immediately available
funds.
Section
2.02. Purchase
Price.
On each
Purchase Date, the Purchaser shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Article IV, make
available to the Seller the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for
the Purchased Assets sold by the Seller under this Agreement shall be payable in
full in immediately available funds by the Purchaser.
Section
2.03. Transfers
and Assignments. It
is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase made hereunder
constitute a complete sale and assignment of all of the Seller’s right, title
and interest in, to and under, the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser and that
the Purchased Assets will not be a part of the Seller’s estate in the event of
any liquidation, reorganization or similar insolvency proceeding with respect to
the Seller. However, if, notwithstanding the intent of the parties,
the Purchased Assets are held to be the property of the Seller, or if for any
other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in
the Purchased Assets, then (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law, (ii) the Seller shall be deemed to have granted
to the Purchaser, and the Seller hereby does grant to the Purchaser, a first
priority security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in,
to and under the related Purchased Assets, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired or arising, in order to secure all of the Seller’s obligations
hereunder, (iii) the possession by the Custodian of Mortgage Notes and such
other items of property as constitute “instruments”, “money”, “negotiable
documents” or “chattel paper” (each as defined in the applicable UCC) shall be
deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the
security interest in such item of property pursuant to Section 9-313 (or
comparable provision) of the applicable UCC, and (iv) notifications to persons
holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from
persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,
bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting
such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the
interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof or pursuant to the
Loan Agreement shall also be deemed to
be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller
and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
deemed to create a security interest in the Purchased Assets, such security
interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority
under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the
Credit and Security Agreement. If at any time applicable law requires
the consent of any bailee, the Seller shall, upon the Purchaser’s reasonable
request, obtain such consent (in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Purchaser).
5
Section
2.04. Protection
of the Purchaser’s Ownership of the Purchased Assets. Seller
agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and
deliver all instruments and documents and take all action that the Purchaser may
reasonably request in order to perfect or protect the Purchaser’s interest (and
the priority thereof) in the Purchased Assets or to enable the Purchaser or its
transferees to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder and
thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller will, upon the
reasonable request of the Purchaser, in order to accurately reflect this
transaction, execute (to the extent required by applicable law) and file such
financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments
thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser (and hereby authorizes
the Purchaser, or its assignee, to file such financing or continuation
statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof without the signature of
the Seller), and xxxx its master data processing records with a notation
describing the acquisition by the Purchaser of the Purchased
Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Seller
hereby irrevocably grants to the Purchaser an irrevocable power of attorney,
with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to sign and file in
the name of the Seller, as the case may be, but without the Seller’s signature,
continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof which are
consistent with the intent of this Agreement, in such cases where the Seller is
obligated hereunder or in connection herewith to sign such statements,
amendments or assignments if, after written notice to the Seller, as the case
may be, the Seller, as the case may be, shall have failed to sign such
continuation statements, amendments or assignments within five (5) Business Days
after receipt of such notice from the Purchaser. Carbon, photographic
or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement shall be
sufficient as a financing statement.
Section
2.05. Mortgage

(a) On

Business Day prior to the related Purchase Date the Seller shall deliver to the
Custodian (as agent on behalf of the Purchaser and the Agent) each of the

Section

Defects; Repurchase of Ineligible Mortgage Loans.
(a) No
later than two (2) Business Days prior to the related Purchase Date, the Seller
will have made the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent for
examination. The fact that the Purchaser or its agent has conducted
or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage
Files shall not affect the Purchaser’s rights to demand cure, repurchase, sale
or other relief as provided in this Agreement. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the Seller shall make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser
and the Agent and their respective agents from time to time so as to permit the
Purchaser to confirm the Seller’s compliance with the requirements of this
Agreement. In addition, upon reasonable request of the Purchaser or
the Agent, the Seller agrees to provide to the Purchaser and the Agent (as the
case may be) written information regarding the Mortgage Loans and their
origination, processing, administration and servicing, to make the documents
required to be included in the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser and the
Agent and to make available personnel knowledgeable about the Mortgage Loans and
their origination, processing, administration and servicing for discussions with
the Purchaser and the Agent, upon reasonable request and at reasonable
intervals
during regular business hours, and to otherwise permit the Purchaser and the
Agent to conduct such due diligence with respect to the Seller and the Mortgage
Loans as any such party reasonably believes is appropriate.
(b) If
at any time the Purchaser finds any Deficiency with respect to a Mortgage File
or finds any document therein to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified
in the attached Schedule of Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall promptly (and in
any event within one (1) Business Day of such discovery) notify the Seller, the
Servicer, the Custodian and the Agent, and the Seller shall, in accordance with
this Section
2.06, either (i) correct or cure any such Deficiency within 30 days
following notice or discovery of such Deficiency or defect, to the extent
curable to the Purchaser’s and the Agent’s satisfaction, (ii) purchase such
Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Amount in accordance with subsection (d) below,
or (iii) cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser and
substitute one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans in its
place.
10
(c) Upon
discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01(e),
(h), (i), (l), or (u) (collectively,
“Material
Breaches” and each a “Material Breach”),
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
Person set forth in this sentence (which notice shall be given no later than one
(1) Business Day after such discovery) and to the Servicer, the Custodian, the
Back-up Servicer and the Agent. Within five (5) Business Days of its
discovery or its receipt of notice of such Material Breach, the Seller shall be
obligated to either (i) cure such breach, (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from
the Purchaser at the applicable Repurchase Amount in accordance with subsection
(d) below, or (iii) cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser
and substitute one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans in its
place. Additionally, if on any date: (i) any scheduled
payment of a Mortgage Loan is reduced or such Mortgage Loan is cancelled as a
result of any action, inaction or misrepresentation of the Seller, or (ii) any
Mortgage Loan has been amended, modified, adjusted or extended by Seller in
contravention of the last sentence of this Section 2.06(c)
without the prior written consent of Agent (such reductions, amendments,
modifications adjustments or extensions described in (i) and (ii) of this
sentence, collectively “Seller Material
Acts”), the Seller shall be obligated, within one (1) Business Day
thereof: (x) in the case of any scheduled payment of a Mortgage Loan that is
reduced, to deposit the amount of such reduction into the Collection Account,
and (y) in all other cases, deposit the Repurchase Amount related to such
Mortgage Loan into the Collection Account in accordance with subsection (d)
below. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to give the
Seller any right, title or interest in and to any Mortgage Loan after the
related Purchase Date or to require Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loan due
to the lack of future performance, decline in value or as a result of the
related Obligor’s insolvency, credit loss or general inability to
pay. The Seller hereby confirms and agrees that, with respect to a
Mortgage Loan, from and after its Purchase Date, the Seller has no right, title
or interest in such Mortgage Loan and has no authority with respect to the
collection, amendment, modification, adjustment, extension or cancellation of
such Mortgage Loan, except to the extent of its capacity as Servicer pursuant to
and in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
(d) The
Repurchase Amount for any Mortgage Loan which is to be purchased by the Seller
pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be
remitted by the Seller in immediately available funds to the Account Bank for
deposit in the Collection Account no later than the Business
Day immediately following the date on which such obligation
arises. Upon receipt by the Purchaser and the Agent of a certificate
of an authorized officer of the Account Bank (or other evidence satisfactory to
both the Purchaser and the Agent) confirming that such Repurchase Amount has
been so deposited, the documents included in the related Mortgage File shall be
released to the Seller, and the Purchaser shall execute such documents and
instruments of transfer or assignment (and shall cause the Agent, at the
Purchaser’s expense, to execute such documents as shall be prepared by the
Purchaser and necessary to release the Agent’s security interest in such
Mortgage Loan) as shall be prepared by, and take such other actions (in each
case at the sole expense of the Seller) as shall reasonably be requested by, the
Seller to effect the conveyance from the Purchaser to the Seller of such
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
2.06. The Purchaser, promptly following the Seller’s
repurchase of a Mortgage Loan shall request the Servicer to amend the related
Schedule of Mortgage Loans and deliver a copy of such amended Schedule of
Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller, the Custodian and the Agent, and
each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall make (and the Purchaser shall request
the Servicer to make) appropriate entries in its general account records to
reflect such transfer.
11
(e) Upon
receipt by the Purchaser of any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans, the
documents included in the Mortgage File relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loans
being so substituted shall be released to the Seller, and the Purchaser shall
execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment (and shall
cause the Agent, at the Purchaser’s expense, to execute such documents as shall
be prepared by the Purchaser and necessary to release the Agent’s security
interest in such Mortgage Loans) as shall be reasonably requested by the
Seller. The Purchaser, promptly following the Seller’s substitution
of any Mortgage Loans with Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans, shall request
the Servicer to amend the related Schedule of Mortgage Loans and deliver a copy
of such amended Schedule of Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller, the
Custodian and the Agent, and each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall make
(and the Purchaser shall request the Servicer to make) appropriate entries in
its general account records to reflect such transfer.
(f) This
Section 2.06
provides the sole remedies to Purchaser, its successors and permitted assigns in
respect of any Deficiencies with respect to a Mortgage File, any Material Breach
or any Seller Material Acts. If the Seller defaults in its
obligations to cure, to repurchase, to substitute or otherwise deposit such
amounts as required pursuant to subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, or
disputes its obligation to cure, repurchase, substitute or otherwise deposit
such amounts as required pursuant to subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above,
the Purchaser (including, without limitation, its successors and permitted
assigns) may take such action as is appropriate to enforce such payment or
performance, including, without limitation, the institution and prosecution of
appropriate proceedings.
Section
2.07. Pledge by
Purchaser. The
Seller acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Purchaser is required pursuant to
the Loan Agreement to pledge and grant a security interest in the Purchased
Assets and assign its rights under this Agreement to the Agent (for the benefit
of the Secured Parties) and (b) the representations, warranties and covenants
contained in this Agreement and the rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement
are intended to benefit the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties). The
Seller hereby consents to all such pledges and grants. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the
Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall be the third-party
beneficiary of this Agreement and shall have full right, power and authority to
enforce the Purchaser’s rights and the Seller’s obligations under this

other parties to the Transaction Documents are entering into the transactions

Seller has determined that the Purchase Price received by it for the Purchased
Mortgage Loans and the other Purchased Assets on the related Purchase Date is
substantially equal to the fair market value thereof. No sale

avoidance under any section of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

obligations beyond its ability to pay as such debts and obligations
mature. The Seller is generally able to pay, and as of the related
Purchase Date is paying, its debts as they come due. The Seller is
not presently financially insolvent nor will the Seller be made insolvent within
the meaning of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or the insolvency laws of any
jurisdiction, or be left with unreasonably small assets of capital (as of, and
immediately following, the related Purchase Date) with which to conduct its
business, by virtue of the Seller’s execution of or performance under any of the
Transaction Documents. The Seller has not entered into any
Transaction Document in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder,
delay or defraud any creditor. The transfer of the
Purchased Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser does not and will not constitute
a transfer of property in connection with any pre-existing
indebtedness.

Seller has filed all required tax returns which would be delinquent if they had
not been filed on or before the related Purchase Date and has paid all taxes,
fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its assets by any Governmental
Authority or tax, accounting, regulatory or licensing body, in each case due and
payable on or before the related Purchase Date. The Seller is not
liable for the taxes payable by any other Person. No tax lien or similar adverse
claim has been filed, and no claim is being asserted, with respect to any tax,
assessment, fee or other governmental charge paid or payable by the Seller or
any Affiliate thereof. Any taxes, assessments, fees and other
governmental charges payable by the Seller in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby have been paid or shall have been
paid prior to becoming delinquent. There is not now, nor will there
be at any time in the future, any agreement or understanding among any of or all
of the Servicer, the Borrower and the Seller, providing for the allocation or
sharing of obligations to make payments or otherwise in respect of any taxes,
fees, assessments or other governmental charges, except (i) as provided under
the Transaction Documents, and (ii) tax sharing agreements among any or all of
the Servicer, the Borrower, the Seller and any of the Seller’s Affiliates, under
which appropriate and customary allocation of tax sharing responsibilities has
been made which reflects economic realities.

INDEMNIFICATION
Section
7.01. Indemnification. (a) Without
limiting any other rights that Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable
law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser (and its assignees) and
Agent, Lender, Servicer, Custodian, Back-up Servicer and each of their
respective successors, transferees, participants and assigns and all officers,
directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the
foregoing (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called an
“Indemnified Party”) upon demand, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments,
suits, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable fees
of attorneys, accountants, experts and advisors) of any kind or nature
whatsoever (in this section collectively called the “Indemnified
Amounts”) which to any extent may be awarded against, imposed on or
incurred by any Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or otherwise
related to any breach of any of the Seller’s representations, warranties and/or
covenants contained herein, in any Supplemental Conveyance or any action taken
by the Seller or omission of the Seller which reduces or impairs the rights of
any Indemnified Party with respect to any Purchased Assets or the value of any
Purchased Asset.
21
THE
FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH INDEMNIFIED AMOUNTS
ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR
THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY OR CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT
OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY,
provided
only that no Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this section to receive
indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liabilities and costs which is
proximately caused by (i) its own individual gross negligence or willful
misconduct, as determined in a final judgment , or (ii) results from a breach in
bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations under any Transaction
Document. If any Person ever alleges such gross negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith by any Indemnified Party, the indemnification provided
for in this section shall nonetheless be paid as set forth herein, subject to
later adjustment or reimbursement, until such time as a court of competent
jurisdiction enters a final judgment as to the extent and effect of the alleged
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
(a) Promptly
upon receipt by the Purchaser of notice of the commencement of any suit, action,
claim, proceeding or governmental investigation against the Purchaser, the
Purchaser shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Seller
hereunder, notify the Seller in writing of the commencement. The
Seller may, at its own expense, participate in and assume the defense and
settlement of any suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation brought
against the Purchaser for which indemnification is sought under this Section 7.01, and no
settlement thereof shall be made without the approval of the Seller and the
Purchaser. The approval of the Seller shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. After notice from the Seller to the Purchaser of
its intention to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Purchaser, and so long as the Seller so assumes the defense thereof in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, the Seller shall not be liable
for any legal expenses of counsel for the Purchaser unless there shall be a
conflict between the interests of the Seller and the Purchaser, in which case
the Purchaser shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the expense of
the Seller. If the Seller shall have made any indemnity payments
pursuant to this Section 7.01 and the
Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of
such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the
Seller, without interest (except to the extent received by such
Person).
22
Section
7.02. Procedures
for Indemnification. The
Purchaser will promptly notify (but, in no event later than 15 days after actual
knowledge thereof) the Seller of any event of which it has knowledge which will
entitle the Purchaser to compensation or indemnification from the
Seller. Any such notice claiming compensation or indemnification
hereunder shall, if applicable, set forth in reasonable detail and in good faith
the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such
amount, the Purchaser may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods. The Seller shall pay each claim for compensation under Section 7.01 within
ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.
Section
7.03. Other
Costs and Expenses. The
Seller shall pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Purchaser in
connection with the administration or amendment of this Agreement, or any other
document to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for the Purchaser with respect
hereto or thereto and in connection with obtaining advice as to its rights and
remedies under this Agreement, or in connection with the enforcement

parties hereto hereby submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York

a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been

affect the right of any party hereto to bring any action or proceeding against
the other party or its properties in the courts of other
jurisdictions.
(c) The

Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed
to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and
the same agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement that are
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The Seller
hereby waives any right of setoff for any amounts due hereunder which it may
have or to which it may be entitled against the Purchaser and its
assets.
Section
8.05. Assignments. This
Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns; provided, however, that, except

but may make disclosure (a) reasonably required by a bona fide transferee or
prospective transferee, including, without limitation, the Agent, any Liquidity

through no fault of the Seller or the Purchaser or any of their respective
agents or representatives and (ii) that is provided by the Seller or the
Purchaser or any of their respective agents or representatives, in any format

Section 8.06 to
observe any such applicable laws.

Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceeding or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or
any state of the United States.

PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION
DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
Section
8.09. Payments
Set Aside. To
the extent that the Seller or any Obligor makes a payment to the Purchaser or
the Purchaser exercises its right of set-off and such payment or set-off or any
part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by, or is required to be
refunded, rescinded, returned, repaid or otherwise restored to the Seller, such
Obligor, a trustee, a receiver or any other Person under any law, including,
without limitation, any bankruptcy law, any state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied shall, to the extent of any such restoration, be reinstated, revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or
such set-off had not occurred. The provisions of this Section 8.09 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section
8.10. No Implied
Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No
course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Purchaser in exercising any
right, power or privilege under the Transaction Documents shall affect any other
or future exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or privilege preclude any
further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies of the Purchaser under the
Transaction Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
that the Purchaser would otherwise have.
25
Section
